Lucky: Fagen seemed to be doing alright and will be home in @placeholder soon. | By Daily Mail Reporter PUBLISHED: 12:46 EST, 11 July 2013 | UPDATED: 16:01 EST, 11 July 2013 A Canadian teen got a little too close for comfort to a lion she was helping care for in a South African rehabilitation facility when the beast tried to drag her into its cage by the legs. Lauren Fagen, 18, was volunteering at the Moholoholo Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre when she leaned in to kiss the beast's fur. The Montreal girl was then pulled into the animal's cage, her legs gnawed and gashed by the lion and its mate, before she was finally dragged away by a lifesaving fellow volunteer.

As an album, @placeholder makes for a bumpy ride. | (Rolling Stone) -- How can a serious bluesman thrive in the age of Auto-Tune? That's the question Gary Clark Jr. grapples with on his major label debut. Since his teens, Clark has been the young titan of Texas blues, coming out of Austin in the early 2000s with a smoothly long-suffering voice and one hell of a mean guitar tone, playing solos that claw and scream their stories with ornery splendor. He's a full-fledged guitar hero of the classic school. And that's all he would need to be, if he only wanted to spend his career playing for roots-music die-hards and recording for his own Hotwire Unlimited, the Austin label that released his albums from 2004 to 2010. But Clark, 28, has a different trajectory and a much larger goal: to reach his own generation, the one that grew up on hip-hop and R&B.

Keane left the club with immediate effect on Friday just five months after taking up the role as Lambert’s right-hand man, citing an inability to perform his duties alongside those of being Martin O’Neill’s No 2 with Republic of Ireland. The timing of Keane’s departure raised questions and sparked shock among the Villa squad, however. It came on the eve of a crucial Premier League match at Burnley and just hours after he took training at Bodymoor Heath. Ireland do not have another match until March.

More broadly, the vast majority of the @placeholder's core supporters -- religious and conservative Turks -- are probably not avid Twitter fans. | (CNN) -- International criticism swiftly and robustly censured the decision by Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan to block access to social networking website Twitter. European Commission Vice President Neelie Kroes called the ban "groundless, pointless, cowardly" and the U.S. State Department likened it to "21st century book burning." But Erdogan is less concerned about what the "international community says" and more determined to stem the seemingly unstoppable leaking of illicit audio recordings posted on Twitter and YouTube, allegedly documenting corruption in the highest echelons of the Turkish government, ahead of next Sunday's municipal elections. Twitter is gaining popularity in Turkey as a forum for unhindered debate and information at the expense of traditional sources of news. It played a critical role in mobilizing opposition to Erdogan during last summer's Gezi Park protests. And no wonder -- media freedom in Turkey has plummeted from 98th to 154th position worldwide since 2006, according to Reporters Without Borders.

"Farouk1986" introduced himself to a Muslim online community with these words in February 2005. "My name is Umar but you can call me Farouk," the poster continues, detailing biographical information that appears to match the life of Umar Farouk AbdulMutallab, the 23-year-old Nigerian man accused of attempting to detonate an explosive on an international flight into Detroit, Michigan, on Christmas Day. The failed terror plot put airports on high alert and refocused American attention on al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, which claimed responsibility for the attempted attack. Internet postings for Farouk1986 -- apparently a combination of his name and birth year -- reveal a young man who fought feelings of loneliness and struggled with balancing his life as a Muslim with the temptations of the secular world around him. He wrote about his desire to attend university, possibly in the United States, and his thoughts on love and marriage.

Kassig was struck by the resilience of the @placeholder he met, by their ability to smile and somehow joke even in the darkest of circumstances. | The family of ISIS hostage and U.S. aid worker Peter Kassig released a YouTube video Saturday asking his captors to show mercy and free him. Referring to him as Abdul-Rahman -- a first name his family says he took, having converted to Islam while being held hostage -- father Ed Kassig said: "We implore his captors to show mercy and use their power to let our son go." Peter Kassig, 26, first went to the Middle East as a U.S. soldier and returned as a medical worker, feeling compelled to help victims of war. His mother, Paula, addressed her son in the video: "We are so very proud of you and the work you have done to bring humanitarian aid to the Syrian people," she said.

Surprisingly for a sports movie, "@placeholder" drew a crowd that was evenly split between men and women, although it skewed quite older, with 89 percent of the audience at least 25 years old. | (EW.com) -- Four new movies were no match for the feline phenom "The Lion King 3D," which ruled the box office for the second weekend in a row with $22.1 million, according to studio estimates. The 1994 Disney classic dropped only 27 percent -- an incredibly impressive hold considering this is the re-release of a 17-year-old film that's coming out on Blu-ray/DVD in one week. The 3-D version has now grossed $61.7 million, bringing "The Lion King"'s cumulative tally to $390.2 million. Disney says it plans to extend what was originally intended to be just a two-week release, although details are still being ironed out.

@placeholder directors insist they have altered their regulations and made investments that will prevent a similar situation from occurring in the future. | Southwest Airlines has landed an historic $1.6 million fine for keeping 16 Chicago flights on the tarmac for more than three hours.

'We are disappointed that the government would seek additional money,' Southwest said in a statement, 'after the enormous penalties imposed on Southwest by Mother Nature during the January 2014 winter storms.' But the Department of Transportation (DOT) refused to accept the excuses and ordered the airline to pay $1.6 million.
